I’ve met many wildlife photographers who have zero interest in photographing anything else, often over time their interest fades! I’ve been photographing wildlife for nearly forty years, but I’m always happy to photograph virtually any other genre or subject, in my opinion it teaches you so much more and means you can capture many subjects in a fresh and meaningful manner. So I’m in total agreement with you here Simon, a larger skill set can never be a bad thing. Really enjoying your films, looking forward to seeing more ! Have a fantastic 2023 👏👍😀 You shared many excellent images here, thank you ! 👍

In the 80’s I shot slides with a Pentax LX and they looked great. Years later I decided to get back into photography and bought a Nikon D5300 but was disappointed with the bland photos it took. I decided to upgrade to a P950 and to learn about it I came across one of your videos. I realized my camera wasn’t taking bland photos, it was me. This summer I am moving to Switzerland and looking forward to testing the potential of both cameras. Thank you for unlocking the passion for photography that had been dormant in me for so long.

Your videos are so genuine, and pure intention of helping those amateur photographers who lost their focus in this ever confusing internet world. Thank you for sharing your learnings.

Simon, your instructional videos on photography are the absolute best! I’m so glad I found you here on YouTube. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and insights with the rest of us. Your photographs are fantastic too! If I could only learn to shoot just a tiny bit like yourself, I would be in photographic heaven.

You really are the best at teaching. I have been on you tube for a LONG time everything from baking bread to sewing to crafts to photography and you are the first one I ever subscribed to! Look forward to more of your great videos!

Excellent advice as usual Simon and illustrated with great examples. Different genres of photography all develop skill sets that are so easily transferable. I used to do lots of travel related stuff, landscapes, people, details, etc. and then I got asked to do some second shooting at weddings . The skills I had developed just fell into place to allow me to do that. The wedding photography developed the instinct to react quickly to changing scenarios, capture moments, and interact more with people. Those skills enhanced my travel photography . You never stop learning so trying something new is definitely a thumbs up.

Simon, I just recently discovered your channel, and after watching just one video, I subscribed. You are not only an exceptional photographer, but a very talented instructor as well. Your presentations are innovative, concise, and clearly presented. Thank you for contributing to the enjoyment of my photography.

I've recently started on photography and I've been watching and learning a lot from your videos. You've earned another subscriber. The simplicity and straight forwardness of your advice/tutorials makes it easier for us beginners to start getting some good results. And it motivates us, at least in my case it does.
Kind regards and keep up the good work.

This is a great channel. I’m a huge fan of mastering the basics, and your content here is easily digestible and very helpful. I’m reminded of things that I’ve gotten a little complacent with over the years. 👍🏻

Another great video! Being able to state your ideas so clearly and concisely is so appreciated, especially on YouTube. I have a 200-600mm so I do try to experiment a bit with different focal lengths, but I sometimes feel like my eye/photography brain just can't see it at the focal lengths I don't usually shoot at. It is a bit discouraging sometimes, but I guess I just need more practice!

Amazing how how you keep producing original, educational content week after week. Thank you.

Everything you mentioned, I realized that's exactly what I have been doing. Switching from my 50 to the 35 to 17 to 70. Thanks for the great tips.. Birds, cars, bridges, landscape, flowers. You name it...

[lynnekrueger]

Simon, everything about this video resonated with me! I'm still very much a novice photographer. My interests are all over the map...street, landscape and wildlife/bird. Each genre has it's own set of challenges. This video helped bring alot together. Love your work and love your no nonsense approach to videos.

[raygiemza]

Brilliant suggestions, Simon. Your videos always seem to contain some challenging tidbits for viewers to stretch their capabilities. This video, however, was a macro dose of dares to improve our skills! Thanks so much!
